AMD CPUs Dominate Amazon Top Sellers List in US, UK and Germany

AMD's relentless CPU design and release cadence have been totally overturning the consumer mindset regarding whose CPU manufacturer they should choose to populate their builds, and it shows in the top sellers for numerous retailers. Amazon US, for example, lists only two Intel CPUs in the top ten of its CPU sales, with the 6-core/6-thread Core i5-9600K in fourth position, and the 8-core/16-thread Core i9-9900K in sixth. AMD's Ryzen 7 2700X is the top seller (not at all strange, considering the ludicrously low Black Friday sale price of $159, with the Ryzen 5 2600 in second place and the Ryzen 5 3600 in third.

In the UK, Amazon's top sellers in the CPU department count with 10 AMD entries against three from Intel, with the three top spots being taken by AMD's Ryzen 5 3600, Ryzen 7 3700X, and finally the Intel i7 9700K. Change your country to Germany, and you'll find the same distribution of top sellers, with Intel claiming only three CPUs in the top ten, but managing to snag the top seller position with the i7-9700K CPU. AMD has been increasing its market share in the CPU space for some reason, and we all know what it is - incredible performance/price and price/core ratios have given the blue team something to think about. What about you? Are you thinking of buying a new CPU this Black Friday?

thesmokingmanIt will take a half a decade of massive profits and major market share wins to even get to the half way point in comparison to Intel. AMD is no doubt the technological leader but they are far from the market leader. They are still the little guy by a MASSIVE margin.
Can't see Intel being the underdog it would be just weird.
Image Intel being the budget friendly alternative where you get more for your money. :D

This does not surprise me in the least. Whether it is the tech press, Youtube or communities on the internet there has been nothing but love for AMD. Even though they had teething issues with Ryzen2 and X570 or Ryzen and X370 they still wax poetic when you compare them (in the PCU space) to Intel with their same 14NM++++++++++++ refreshes and bad press. Amd is still the UNderdog though as Intel's 3rd quarter profit was higher than AMD's for the last 5 years.

RictorhellIt flip flops every few years, but I am hoping that AMD stays on top this time, technologically, and then, eventually financially and in terms of market share and revenue. In my mind, as far as anyone that cares about computers and has even basic diy knowledge of them, AMD is the undeniable MVP this year, because they took a stagnant computer market and breathed new life into it and made it exciting again.

You're getting unprecedented processing power at prices that could actually be interpreted as REASONABLE by many people. Intel would have had us paying hundreds and thousands of dollars, for years, for 4 cores here, 8 cores there, and MAYBE, once in a while, a more than 5%-10% improvement in IPC, year over year.

AMD has allowed people with the cash, to purchase, or build computers with the amount of processing power that they both need AND want, and I'm excited because that means, hopefully, some innovation and imagination going into computer software, CAD, and CAM, that we just would not have gotten with Intel's practices and roadmaps.

You know, the crux of the matter is the poly patterned image near 1:40. Scene triangle binning id buffers(resource binding) really improved graphics rendering capabilities in amd hardware(not talking cpu). Null pixel shaders optimise vertex performance and uplift the pixel pipeline's performance bounding box more than anything I've seen in 3D graphics. It fits like a glove.

Dude just log in to :
primeabgb (Mumbai)
mdcomputers (Kolkata)
vedantcomputers (Kolkata)
theitdepot (Chennai)

they have the latest and greatest within few weeks of launch, i personally prefer Vedantcomputers due to no gateway payment charges (2%) when paying by card.
